Ever heard of a resting b---- face? In our day and age, it is a saying that refers to someone whose face looks #fedup all the time. And typically, it might just be what their thinking face looks like. They might not actually be annoyed or upset but people think they are.

For me, it's more of a resting sad face.

Instead of looking annoyed, (apparently) I look like I just lost my best friend.

How do you know if you have this?

Well, I'm glad you asked! And I'd be happy to give you some of my insight regarding the situation.

"What's wrong?"

I get asked this A LOT. By my mother especially. Either it's because I'm such a private person and she takes that into consideration and looks at me more intently than normal, or if my face actually looks like something is going on.

Which often leads her to say...

"You look upset."

Um... No, this is just my face. Thanks.

You'd think that being with the people who ask this almost 24/7 would let them know that MY FACE IS MY FACE and they would stop asking these questions... but no. They proceed with the following:

"Do you want to talk about it?"

*is thinking about why pineapple pizza is hated by so many* Actually, yes. I would love to.

"You look ticked off."

This is the one I hate the most because it's usually when I'm not mad and I'm actually in a pretty decent and thoughtful mood.

It really makes candid shots a death trap because when I look at them afterward, it really does look like I'm thinking of something quite awful when in reality I'm probably just going over why I love Snowbaz from Carry On by Rainbow Rowell.

TALK TO ME

Is this something you struggle with? OR AM I THE ONLY SAD LOOKING SOUL AROUND? Y'all have no idea how long I've been wanting to write a blog post but school keeps getting in the way. -.- I am currently sitting in my school's cafe and it's snowing outside and my fingers are cold but I am feeling good. A little hyper because I chugged coffee but it's gradually wearing off, putting me in a calmer state. HOW ABOUT YOU? HOW ARE YOU DOING, FRIEND? Let me know.

The lovely Keira tagged me to this a while back and came up with these amazing questions so I thought I'd answer them since I've been immensely busy with all the craziness of life... #collegestudentAlso, I'd just like to mention that the other day was the anniversary of when I became a blogger... Eight years ago. I think I speak for everyone when I say that's insane.

I've been blogging for almost a decade.

And here I am now! A highly obsessive pizza lover with an undying love for the color yellow. Wow, have I grown! Many apologies to those who have stuck with me over the course of time (looking @ you, Rosie).

Now what you have been waiting for...

What is your favorite genre to read?

My favorite genre is YA and my favorite genre within that genre may have to be contemporary? I like fantasy as well. Sometimes I like realistic fantasy. Honestly, I'll read anything. Contemporaries are just short and quick which is why I lean towards them more. But I normally read books because of the characters

If you could choose a different name for yourself, what would it be and why?

Pizza Queen. It seems rather suiting, doesn't it?

What is your favorite thing about being an artist/creative?

Oh gosh... Well, for one, I feel super exhilarated whenever I am able to get creative. I love making something and feel proud of the end result. I also love the process of it... And the beauty that comes with being a creative. I simply live to create.

Favorite song/soundtrack to jam out to?

I fake honestly you cannot out answer by this, twenty it oneis pilots too hard. Or Electric Feel by MGMT.

How has the internet made your life better + How has it made your life worse? What do you do when you feel overwhelmed by it?

Wow, this is such a good question and something that you don't think about considering how accessible and dependent we when it comes to the internet.It has made my life better because it has given me a place where I can creatively be myself. It has also made me feel more aware of the world and myself. I'm an introvert so I'm not going to put myself out in the world-- the internet has made this a bit easier. It has also allowed me to make a lot of amazing friends. I'm a big advocate for the internet and how amazing it is but I will say... I waste so much of my time on it. I find myself endlessly scrolling and looking at stupid things (not that pet memes are stupid). Let's just say I could have been more productive with my time.

When I'm overwhelmed with the internet I usually take a hiatus. Because I'm soo dependant on it, I usually make a few acceptions... But sometimes I'll delete instagram for a week and end up not coming back for two weeks... It's nice. I like closing myself off from the world for a little while and try to get my creative juices flowing again. It doesn't always work but it helps. I often find myself comparing my work to others' and that's not fair to them or myself.

Link to something that has inspired you this month (it can be anything: blog post, video, book, song, podcast).

Hmm... It's been so long since I've actually sat down and read a blog post. I guess what has been inspiring me lately is my instagram explore page, looking at art on pinterest, and my fellow creatives. Thus, I sadly do not have anything specific to link here.

Do you listen to podcasts? if so, what is your favorite?

What is your favorite place you’ve traveled to?

My favorite place has probably been cleveland, ohio Georgia. I went on vacation with my family there a few (quite a few) years ago and we stayed right on the beach and... it was just a happy place.

What goals are you working on right now?

Right now I'm just trying to stay sane. o-o I'm just trying to keep myself intact and still work on my creative interests... We'll see how it goes.

Tell me how much you love snail mail.

Dude. Snail mail is dah bomb dot com. But we kinda have a love/hate relationship... I don't nearly do it as much as I'd like and I enjoy putting a lot of effort and thought into it, but it gets to the point where it's almost draining. I think it's just my inner perfectionist getting the best of me. Also, sometimes knowing that I have to go to the post office gives me anxiety?? Idk man.

I know a lot of peeps enter the new year with goals and aspirations for all the things they want to accomplish, and I try to do the same... But there's one thing that I'm starting to live by and that is to do what I can and be okay with it.

And since I'm going back to school (hence new obligations and pressures) and there are always so many projects that I want to work on... I need to be a little more careful with the expectations I put on myself.

But there is one thing I've been working on...

I HAVE A PODCAST!

This is something I thought about doing but never thought I'd actually go through with. But thanks to Rosie (from Two Point Perspective), we now have one together! And I am so excited.

Introducing Pizza Flower

A play off the pizza flour you bake with but this one is defined as me (pizza) and Rose (flower).

What you should expect

Our motto is happy vibes and deep souls. Which means we intend to discuss topics centering around positive and inspirational subjects from our perspective (deep souls).

What we want to accomplish

We want to approach these topics by looking at them from a different perspective (aka how the INFJ views them) and fully immerse ourselves in the discussion.

BASICALLY, WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT ART, CREATIVITY, INTROVERSION, AND BOOKS.

All the things that set my soul on fire.

Where you can find us

The main platform we will be publishing our podcast on will be YouTube. That way you can join in on the conversation, too! Leave us a comment and maybe we'll mention it in our next episode.

And don't forget to check out our aesthetic board on Pinterest! We are super visual people.

Why January 14th?

We started talking about doing this sometime in December, I believe? So we knew we wanted to launch it in the new year, but we picked the 14th because that is when Rosie and I met 7 years ago. o-o Crazy, right?

Now we're here, talking about all the things we didn't know about ourselves in the beginning whilst learning even more about each other. And we want you to join us in the conversation.

TALK TO ME

What is something you have always wanted to do and are finally doing it? DO YOU HAVE A PODCAST, TOO?? If so, link it to me baby. I want to listen. I REALLY HOPE YOU LIKE WHAT I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR YOU. You have no idea how happy my soul is by doing this. I am SO thrilled for y'all to see what is to come.
